In detail, discuss one Mendelian disorder. Describe the disability(ies) that result from this disorder. Clearly explain the genetic pattern of dominant and recessive genes that cause this disorder and its probability of inheritance. Conclude by discussing any possible treatments or preventive measures for the disorder.

What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Identify and explain the infectious agents in STORCH syndrome, briefly describe methods of maternal contraction, and ways the infection is passed to the fetus. Discuss the risks to the fetus/infant, and techniques to avoid or treat the infections.

Answer to Question 1

10 Choose a Mendelian disorder, briefly describe it, and clearly and accurately explain the genetic pattern of transmission and possible interventions.
8 Choose a Mendelian disorder, describe it, and somewhat clearly and accurately explain the genetic pattern of transmission and possible interventions. Leave out some essential details.
6 Choose a Mendelian disorder, describe it, and somewhat clearly and accurately explain the genetic pattern of transmission and possible interventions. Leave out essential details.
4 Choose a Mendelian disorder, describe it, and unclearly and inaccurately explain the genetic pattern of transmission and possible interventions. Leave out essential details.
2 Choose a non-Mendelian disorder, and unclearly and inaccurately explain the genetic pattern of transmission and possible interventions. Leave out most essential details.

Answer to Question 2

10 Identify six infectious diseases and summarize their commonalities. Clearly explain the methods of transmission (maternal and fetus), risks to the fetus and infant, and treatment for each infection.
8 Identify six infectious diseases and summarize their commonalities. Somewhat clearly explain the methods of transmission (maternal and fetus), risks to the fetus and infant, and treatment for most of the infections.
6 Identify five to six of the infectious diseases and allude to their commonalities. Somewhat clearly explain the methods of transmission (maternal and fetus), risks to the fetus and infant, and treatment for some of the infections.
4 Identify three to five of the infectious diseases and allude to some of their commonalities. Unclearly explain the methods of transmission (maternal and fetus), risks to the fetus and infant, and treatment for some of the infections.
2 Identify zero to four of the infectious diseases and allude to some of their characteristics. Unclearly explain the methods of transmission (maternal and fetus), risks to the fetus and infant, and treatment for one or two of the infections.
